The best player on the Alabama Crimson Tide — indeed, the nation’s best placekicker — was honored by the Lou Groza Award as one of its stars of the week, for his outstanding day on Saturday in Starkvegas, which included banging in two attempts near 50 yards
The only kicker with double-digit field goal attempts who has yet to miss is Alabama’s Will Reichard, who added four more to his tally in the Crimson Tide’s 40-17 road romp over Mississippi State. The graduate senior from Hoover, Ala. is now 11-for-11 on the year after connecting from 34, 38 and twice from 48 yards out.
